pimpf: Pimpf is a German word and descends roughly from the 19th century. It describes a young boy of a youth movement – it has kind of a negative connotation too, because it was used as well in the "Hitler youth movement
...pimpf is a way a calling pre-adolescent boys in Germany. Supposedly pimpfes were Hitlerian youth in pre WW2 Germany although as far as I understand it has fallen out of use. The reason why DM would name this song pimpf , I dunno, but assume they associate the obscure atmosphere of the song with the use Nazis gave to the word.
I genuinely love it. I just completely descend into this one every time. But can somebody explain me what does PIMPF abbreviation stands for? English isn't my mother tongue.
One of my favorite DM songs! Whenever I have it on in the car, people must think I'm crazy as I've got my hands waving around and "air conducting". I am utterly incapable of sitting still when this song is playing!
@balloydspiritsoul Pimpf is a colloquial name for a boy before the voice change.
In the German National Socialism The Pimpfe were the youngest subsection of the Hitler Youth, prevalent in Nazi Germany from 1933-1945, when the Allied Victory in the Second World War brought down the Nazi regime. The Pimpfe contained members of the Hitler Youth movement between the ages of ten and fourteen.
@balloydspiritsoul Not sure I comprehend what you are trying to say, but to clarify things, Pimpf doesn't glorify Nazism, it's actually quite the contrary. Those in doubt ought to listen to "Shouldn't have done that" (for example). Depeche Mode is a band with firm working class roots. They have strong Socialist view points, and they believe in equality and solidarity, which they declare openly and with pride.
When I first heard this on "Music For The Masses" in 1987, I cried. It is the most spectacular recording ever made. 50 years of listening to all kinds of music and nothing even comes close to this masterpiece.
I have the Live-CD of the 101-Tour in Pasadena. They play at the beginning and in the ending PIMPF. Ohhh, the boys were (when they were young) really cute!
increible, es una gran cancion, un poco extraña aunque ese es el genial estilo del music for the masses, la combinación de sonidos me recuerda un poco a st jarna de depeche mode.....XD
Maravilhoso,intenso,escuro...sou fã do DM desde de 1990 e nunca tinha visto esse video.Pela fotografia é claro que quem dirigiu foi o genial Anton Corbjin.Muito obrigado por ter postado esse video.
